PSA by the numbers (Jan 2022)

[Ronnie73]

There's a guy on YouTube that follows the actual population numbers each week for all the categories and gives you a grand total also. His YouTube name is Retro Hoop Collectibles. Those numbers are more accurate.

Nothing matters until we finally get our godd*mn 'Swinging Sixties' group sub back. It's gotten to the point where we had to give Bobby our next of kin info, because some of us will no longer be alive when the cards are returned.

I know that you all consider me "snarky anti grader guy", and I won't deny it, but..

Serious question :

Does anybody have any idea how many opinion givers work at everybody's favorite opinion seller?

You guys talk about hundreds of thousands if not millions of slabs, isn't anybody curious about the time spent on an individual card? Time that changes the value of the card exponentially?

Not enough.

20-60 seconds would be my guess.

My blood boiled when I learned PSA is performing in-person grading at certain shows. The national is one thing, but PSA has had our cards almost a year now, and some jack wagon at a regional show, willing to pay a highway robbery amount, jumps ahead of us all.

Shows how much PSA cares about the backlogged customers. The $15.00 a card, true-collector, guy continue waiting while the ultra modern $150.00 a card flipper gets ushered to the front of the line. PSA is probably grading cards at these regional shows that were manufactured and printed after it received our submission. Think about that!

Hahaha, they don't give a shit about "true collectors", at the very best they care about $15 true-collector guy one tenth as much as they care about $150 card flipper guy.

Mind forever blown. Thanks for that.
